Thanks Ed/Dave 
fyi, the conf file pasted earlier is one that a coworker devised on AIX
using the snnpconf. However, interestingly, when I use the following
snmpd.conf that I generated myself on Solaris, the 'snmpget -c ....'
works fine. Also, following the 'good' snmpd.conf file, Dave you will
see the output from the snmpd -f -Le -Dread_config -d' using the
snmpd.conf file that my coworker generated. 

To summarize: When I use the snmpd.conf file that I generate on my
system (which follows below), snmpget -c .... works. 
When I use snmpd.conf that my coworker generated on AIX (pasted wayy
down below in the original email), snmpget -c ... timeout.
Dave, the debug info. is pasted below when issuing snmpget -f -Le
-Dread_config -d using the snmpd.conf file my coworker generated below.


My goal is to use my coworkers snmpd.conf file ultimately (the
snmpd.conf pasted wayy below in the original email). I just don't know
why it's not responding to the snmpget -c .... 

Does this help? Thanks again for your response.

========================= Good snmpd.conf file - snmpget works with this

We ran into a problem having both readonly and r/w in the conf file for
v2.
It wouldn't hurt to comment out the r/w and try again.

Just a thought.

Subject: Timeout: No Response from localhost.

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could take a quick look at my conf file below
and see why when I do the following:

/opt/emc/dist/local/usr/bin/snmpget -v 1 -c whatever localhost
SNMPv2-MIB::sysUp
Time.0

I get the following error message:

Timeout: No Response from localhost.

This is assuming of course that startup of 'snmpd' master agent is
successful (I tried the patch to get rid of the first three messages and
it didn't work but apparently it the agent is running noneless).

# snmpd -f -Le
netsnmp_assert !"registration != duplicate" failed agent_registry.c:535
netsnmp_assert !"registration != duplicate" failed agent_registry.c:535
netsnmp_assert !"registration != duplicate" failed agent_registry.c:535
Turning on AgentX master support.
NET-SNMP version 5.4.1


Thank you again for your response,
Randy
